OAuth overview

With Nhost it's easy to sign in users with external OAuth providers. OAuth providers are configured in the Nhost console at Settings -> Sign-in methods.

#Supported OAuth providers

• Github
• Google
• Facebook

#Redirect URLs

You must first set the auth redirect URLs to start using a OAuth provider. The redirect URL specifies where your users should return to once the signup/signin has been completed.

If you develop locally, set the Redirect URLs to your local web app. Ex http://localhost:3000.

#How to sign up and sign in users

The flow for both signup and signin is the same. Simply link to https://backend-REPLACE.nhost.app/auth/providers/[provider] in your signup/signin page.

[provider] can be one of github, google, facebook.
